Course description

The Sydney Community College Contemporary Choir is a pop singing group for singers of all ages and abilities.

Join us to set free your inner glee, as we learn to sing a range of contemporary and pop songs – with some music from the 60s 70s and 80s through to more recent performers such as Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars, for example.

Unlike traditional choirs – which are based in SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) - this choir brings mixed voices together to sing parts which allow those with less musical experience to enjoy the full choir experience without the complexity.

This choir is an encouraging, fun and supportive way to throw your head back and sing, as you build confidence in your ability, and get a chance to perform with a group in public.
